Celeste & Jesse Forever (2012)

Celeste & Jesse Forever is the screenwriting debut for actors Rashida Jones and Will McCormack. The two attempt to subvert the romantic comedy genre by following some of its conventions while revealing its main couple, played by Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg, are going through a separation and divorce. Directed by Lee Toland Krieger, who showed off a smart, dark sensibility in 2009’s The Vicious Kind, this film exhibits a development stunted by being too tightly wrapped in its own conceit. Neither funny nor dark, Celeste & Jesse Forever cowardly avoids a much-needed push in either direction.
